[lbo-talk] Anti-Semitism is the health of the Jewish state

[David Green]

To evoke Randolph Bourne's "war is the health of the state." A remarkably stupid 
and vile article in today's NYT Book Review.

It concludes with the remarkable statement:

"but Islamophobia is a concept developed within the last two decades by those 
who wish to elevate Islam’s reputation in the West; anti-Semitism was a concept 
eagerly embraced and expanded by haters of Jews. One was constructed by a 
group’s supporters, the other by a group’s enemies."
